The amount of data on the screen, depending on where you experienced it, is also configurable by the IT department. One of the tasks that I have at my job is to make the data on the screen as concise as possible.

I am not sure when you last interacted with Epic but it has come a very long way in the last 8 years in the realm of personalization, macros, mobile access, and alerting (you can subscribe to results and be notified on your phone or watch when it returns as one example).

My goal with the providers I work with is to provide minimum scrolling, limited clicks, and easy ordering, all while being as workflow agnostic as possible through personalization of the user experience.

As to the need for faxing and scanning, the VA benefits from being completely uniform and, frankly, socialized in its data. The non governmental hospital system consists of millions of data sinks (data centers, file rooms, etc) and all of them are owned and controlled by different entities. The fact that even the level of data that can be requested and accessed instantly between health care providers exists as it does today is impressive.
